Perhaps he was just doing some early Christmas shopping for his immediate family...

Oh my gawd! We're so happy to report that the long-standing catfight between Las Vegas' two most famous drag queens is officially over. Kenny Kerr of Boylesque fame and Frank Marino of La Cage, who always seemed to be feuding, have patched things up after 20 years of vicious barbs and are now bowling together.
Next up: world peace.

The Miss American Pageant is returning to Las Vegas next year for the second straight year. After relocating from it's traditional New Jersey home last year to the Aladdin Hotel, pageant officials decided to try it again, this time moving to a Monday night TV airing on January 29th.

Perhaps that's why so many Broadway-type shows don't make it here--they are too "mentally challenging" as the co-producer of the Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian fears.
Hopefully, moving the starting times for the show to an earlier slot will help us grasp the complexities better, especially under the influence of alcohol and lack of sleep...

The Clark County Commissioners who took bribes and other favors from a local strip club owner have received their sentences. Can you believe stuff like that goes on in Vegas? Totally inconceivable...

To save an hour or two at McCarren airport take advantage of a new baggage check-in service at the Venetian. Of course, with the extra time the Venetian expects you'll hang around the casino and gamble but that's a lot better than standing in line at the airport, isn't it?

The recent budget cuts at Las Vegas' Marriage License Bureau could have saved Britney Spears a "what-have-I-done?" hangover as marriage licenses will no longer be available from the County in the wee hours.

The Mirage is about to open their new Euro-style pool area which will be called "Bare". It'll be VIP all the way, complete with a DJ, daybeds and dolphins swimming a few feet away. Now that's style...
(Opens "late summer")

Porn star Sunset Thomas, now a Las Vegas resident, has signed a deal to become a spokesmodel and featured dancer for the newly renovated Palomino Club in North Las Vegas. Summer "can't wait to get naked" on the Palomino main stage for the grand re-opening on August 25/26. We can't wait, either.

The now-famous Las Vegas marketing phrase "What Happens Here, Stays Here" belongs to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and unauthorized use of close derivatives of the phrase won't be tolerated, decided a U.S. District Court.
There's rampant speculation about the phrase on the infamous AmericanLowLife hand towels: "What Happens In Las Vegas...gets wiped up with this towel". Guess we'll have to send Clarence Thomas one just in case...

These Las Vegas Showgirlz wear headdresses and costumes of a different kind. They are members of the Women's Professional Football League and they are very serious about kicking butt and taking names. The Showgirlz may never make it on the Folies Bergere stage but then again, real showgirls would be eaten alive in this hard-hitting, full-contact version of professional football.

15,000 die-hard Star Trek fans will beam down to Las Vegas this week for the 40th anniversary celebration of Star Trek. Kirk and Spock are scheduled guest speakers at the Hilton event along with many, many of the top Star Trek personalities over the years.
So, if you see some other-worldy lookin' people roaming around the town and they aren't cast members from Zumanity, Shag With a Twist or Boylesque, they are probably attending this convention.

The Scintas, a popular variety act featuring two Scinta brothers, a sister and an "adopted" brother, has moved from the Rio to the Sahara. To make room for them, Buckwild, a country-themed song, dance and sexy girl revue has been given the boot, so to speak.

Also, the erotic Fashionistas show at Krave/Aladdin, based on the popular porn movie of the same name, now has an open bar during the show included in the price of the ticket. Woo hoo! Get drunk and watch sexy dancers in S&M outfits--tough to beat that!!

Lust and Bliss, two of the three groups that staged the recent Fusion event here in town last month, have decided to cancel their upcoming Labor Day weekend Hustlers & Honeys event. The word is, a local ex-party promoter has taken it upon himself to make sure that out-of-town promoters have all the necessary legal permits to stage an event in Las Vegas. There's also speculation that some of the motivation is personal.

In any event, the H&H people will refund your money in full and your rooms are still good at Mandalay and THEHotel. Hmmm...might be a bunch of hotties roaming around Mandalay with nothing to do...

Surprise, surprise! The Utah Supreme Court has ruled that nude dancing has nothing to do with free speech and has upheld an ordinance that bans the lewd, lascivious and probably un-American practice, even if alcohol isn't being served. Perhaps it'll get overturned in Federal court.
Until then, you can get your nude dancer fix at the Palomino Club, Can Can Room, Little Darlings, Sheri's Cabaret or the others listed here!

With 5 Cirque du Soleils and a reasonable facsimile (Le Reve) all running in Las Vegas at the same time, it's difficult to get one's Cirques straight without a scorecard. This article can help.

Barry Manilow has been working his hips way too hard his publicist says and will have to have surgery to repair them. No word whether the cause of the hip damage--his "high energy performances"--occurred on stage during his Hilton show or in a more private setting. In any case, he'll miss about 20 concerts which will be added on to his 2007 schedule.

Las Vegas resident Jenna Jameson continues to take the adult industry mainstream, this time by becoming the first porn star with a wax figure in Madame Tussauds at the Venetian.

If you've got what it takes or you just want to watch 'em live, check this out.

BlackHat and Defcon, two computer hacker-centric conferences are in town this week so watch your wireless network. G-men in suits and Cisco execs meeting with teenage hackers wearing punk gear give the conferences a surreal feel but these are some of the best hackers on the planet and their expertise is valuable to both the government and computer company execs.

Black Hat is at Caesars Palace and Defcon will be at the Riviera.
